EDO JOSEPH SALVA, M.D.--A residential practitioner of medicine
at Palisades Park from 1937 to the present time, Edo Joseph
Salva, M.D. has become thoroughly identified with the community
in which he lives and works. He has been associated here with
the practice of both private and public medicine; his 
affiliations include the position of physician to the board of
health of Palisades Park, and to other special groups here; he
is on the staff of nearby hospitals, and is a member of the
various medical societies.  Dr. Salva also is interested in
fraternal and social organizations here, in which he plays an
enthusiastic part, and finds time for several interesting and
creative hobbies, which add to his own enjoyment and to that of
his friends and neighbors as well.
  Edo Joseph Salva was born at Ridgefield Park, in 1909, son of
Anthony and Rose (Alessandro) Salva, both of whom are still
living. His father was born in Italy; coming to the United
States as a boy, he early became employed in work which gave
him opportunity to put in his full effort and in return to save
money; he is now a merchant, with headquarters in Ridgefield
park.  Anthony and Rose (Alessandro) Salva were the parents of
another son Louis; he is now employed with the New York Central
Railroad.
  Growing up at Ridgefield Park, Edo Joseph attended the
elementary and high schools there, graduating form the latter
in 1927, after receiving the customary preparatory education.
He then matriculated at New York University for his 
undergraduate studies, completed the technical curriculum there,
and took the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1932. For his
medical training, he turned to the Hahnermann Medical College
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He completed his professional
courses there, and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine
at the college's 1936 commencement.
  Dr. Salva spent his period of internship at the East Orange
General Hopsital, East Orange.  After completing this final
requirement, he came to Palisades Park, in 1937, and began to
engage in a private practice of medicine. Dr. Salva now is
physician to the board of health of Palisades Park, and to the
Baby Keep Well group, and is a member of the staff of the Holy
Name Hospital, at Teaneck, one of the representative local
institutions. He is a member of the Bergen County Medical
Society, the New Jersey State Medical Society, and the American
Medical Association.
  A member of the Knights of Columbus, Dr. Salva is physician
to the lodge, and is a member of the Coronation Countil, at
Fort Lee. He engages in a number of hobbies, which include
woodcarving, sketching in wood, sculpture and sculpuring in
soap.  He plays the violin, and also enjoyes the hobby of home
photography.
  In 1941, at Garfield, Dr. Edo Joseph Salva was married to
Edith Scibetta, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Scibetta; a
native of Lodi, she received her advanced education at the
Montclair Teachers College, and was later a teacher in the
Lodi High School.
